Author's Note: Number 3 in the Where Now? Series. I just love this song and thought it would work well for Sam and Jack. This one is based on Keith Urban's – You Look Good In My Shirt. I wasn't planning on posting this chapter so soon but I had a wonderful review and encouragement for JenCamp to get this chapter out ASAP and she promised me a long review if I did so here is the next chapter, I also have chapter 4 written too and will post that quickly if you want me to. Thank you to supershipper-JA2-JC-WJ for Beta-ing it for me, Alyssa you're the best especially as she did this within a few hours of receiving it. Please review.
You Look Good In My Shirt
I was walking around the grocery store, doing the weekly shop when I heard footsteps directly behind me. Before I could turn around I felt hands cover my eyes and heard someone whisper in my ear "Guess who?"
I smiled and began to rattle off names like I really didn't know who it was, but all along I knew it was you. I finally said your name, "Sam". Hearing that you let me go and I turned around to look at you. You looked good; especially when you flashed me that smile.
We talked about what we'd been up to since we'd last seen each other; it had been a few years since I had left the SGC. The more we talked, the more we laughed and it made me wonder why we didn't last. After my retirement we tried being a couple and it just didn't work. It was too soon after the whole CO/subordinate thing. We just weren't ready.
After finishing the shopping you followed me to my house and we continued to talk, laugh and catch up. You helped put away the shopping, remembering where everything went, despite how long it had been since you were last here, luckily for your big brain I'm not a man who likes change.
We spent the rest of the day together and even though it had been a long time we fell back into the way we used to be; only now it was more relaxed. No Sirs or Carters passed our lips as we talked and we sat closer than we ever had before, even as a couple. The invisible line that used to be between us was gone, and God it felt good.
As you made your way to the door to leave, I got up and followed. I held open the door for you and leaned in to give you a kiss on the cheek but somehow I missed and landed on your lips. Not expecting you to respond I began to pull away but you wouldn't let me. And despite the length of time that had passed since seeing one another, later that night, baby we caught up real fast.
I woke to see your beautiful face resting on my chest, a sweet smile on your lips. I couldn't believe my luck, not only would a gorgeous and smart woman like you consent to be with me once but you came back for more. I know that we haven't solved overnight all the ways that we went wrong but I would love to wake up seeing what I'm seeing, everyday from now on.
I leaned down to give you a good morning kiss and, a while later, I left the bed to make you breakfast. I was standing by the stove, making omlets when I heard you walk in and I turned to look at you. I know that it may be too early to know if this is going to work but all I know is you're sure looking good in my shirt. You walk over to me and begin to help and soon we are sitting down to eat.
I drop my fork on the floor and as I lean down to pick it up I see the acres of leg that are on display underneath my shirt. I move back so that I can see your face and I smile and say, "You look good in my shirt."
Your answering smile and slight blush is all the answer I need and I know that we are going to work and even if we don't (like that is going to happen!), I'll have the image of you in my shirt burned onto my retinas. Every time I close my eyes I'll see how good you looked in my shirt.
Hope you enjoyed, please review
